Enter! The First Stage of the Crusade!

"That concludes this crusade's guidance of fundamental knowledge." Guide said calmly as they bowed politely.

"So, you're basically saying that all our efforts will have been for nothing if we bite off more than we can chew, right?" Colorful Nimbus chimed in.

"Precisely so," Guide responded as they stood up straight.

Everyone understood Guide's explanation without issue, but there were some concerning points they brought up.

For one, the way enemies were ranked in the crusade was troublesome. Those types of rankings were something no one had ever seen nor heard of before now in RML; therefore, the group had no idea what to expect. It was like walking into a forest full of swords blindfolded. One wrong misstep, and they were as good as done.

That's why—they needed to extract as much information as possible from Guide before they entered the crusade. That way, they could reduce the number of unknown variables they would inevitably face.
